PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED ALTERNATE VERSION
Recorded three weeks after the grou p'S legendary Fillmore East
concerts, the Band Of Gypsys meticulously crafted this
prototypical illustration of sophisticated funk.
Hendrix would revisit the track on February 3, 1970, overdubbing
guitar parts and creating a rough mix. At that stage, work on "Power Of Soul" drew to
a close. Hendrix instead chose to feature a live version of the song as part of Band or
Gypsys, issued in March 1970.
The January/February 1970 studio recording of "Power Of Soul" was shelved until the
marathon mixing sessions Hendrix staged at Electric Lady Studios in August 1970. As
Jimi reviewed the many contenders for his projected double album First Rays orThe
New Rising Sun, "Power Of Soul" was treated to a new rough mix, resulting in the
unique delay effect heard during the song's opening.
Because "Power Of Soul" had been featured on Band orGypsys, Jimi had not reserved
a position for the song on First Rays orThe New Rising Suno Although considered for
The Cry orLave, the first posthumous album of Jimi's unissued studio material,
"Power Of Soul" remained unavailable until a truncated version was overhauled and
included as part of the controversial 1975 compilation Crash Landing. Inexplicably,
the originai master was edited and remixed to accommodate overdubs recorded in
1974 by session percussionist Jimmy Maeulen. Lasting only 3:15 and retitled "With
The Power", the elaborate introduction and its two soaring lead guitar solos were
scrapped.
The version featured on this compilation discards the posthumous additions, restoring
the full length version with ali of its regal glory intact.

ORIGINALLY ISSUED AS PART OF WAR HEROES.
Written by Bo Hansson and Jan Carlsson, "Tax Free" was
recorded at the outset of sessions for Electr;c Ladyland.
Despite its relative obscurity, the Experience discovered
the song during an earlier tour of Sweden. Hendrix, in
particular, relished the song's freewheeling arrangement
and intricate time changes.
Under Chas Chandler's direction, the Experience
record ed the basic track for "Tax Free" at Olympic
Studios on January 26, 1968. Additional work was
completed two days later, including the recording of the
distinctive rhythm guitar part fed through a Leslie organ
speaker, but the song was not yet complete. When
production for Electr;c Ladyland shifted to the Record
Plant, work on "Tax Free" continued. On May l,1968,
Jimi finally turned the corner, enhancing the final master
via a series of guitar overdubs.
Though "Tax Free" was not incl uded as part of Electric
Ladyland, the grou p often performed the song duri ng
their 1969 American and European tours. Eddie
Kramer, the originai engineer on both the Olympic and
Record Plant session dates, would later remix the song
with John Jansen in January 1972 so that it would be
included as part of the posthumous compilation War
Heroes.

erhaps the most outlandish of all of Jimi's studio
recordings, "The Stars That Play With Laughing Sam's
Dice" is laced with his searing guitar work and unique
humor. Recorded at New York's Mayfair Studios shortly
a er the Experience's triumphant US debut at the
onterey Pop Festival in June 1967, the sessions for
bo h "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp" and "The Stars
That Play With Laughing Sam's Dice" were among the
oup's first to utilize eight-track technology. Apart from
Is whimsical lyrics, the song's most prominent
characteristics were the sounds Jimi obtained from
s omping on customized tone pedals designed by Roger
ayer, a London based electron ics maven. Mayer, who
e riended Hendrix shortly after his arrival in London ,
as famed for the creation of such devices as the
Octavia, a tone pedal which allowed Hendrix to jump
octaves on the guitar with a simple flip of a switch.
Originally issued as the B-side of the 1967 Track
ecords UK "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp" single,
"The Stars That Play With Laughing Sam's Dice" was
la er added to the 1968 UK compi lation Smash Hits.
The version included here was remixed by Eddie
ramer and John Jansen in January 1972. It would
a er be featured on the 1973 compi lation Loose Ends,
hich has never been released in America.

 

MIDNIGHT

GUITAR: JIMI HENDRIX
BASS: NOEL REDDING
DRUMS: MITCH MITCHEll
ORIGINAllY ISSUED AS PART OF WAR HEROES.
Following a difficult and unproductive series of sessions
at Olympic Studios in February 1969, the Experience
did not return to the recording studio as a unit until
April, when they gathered at New York's Olmstead
Studios to try and recapture their momentum.
One of the most promising songs to emerge from these
early April 1969 sessions was the extended instrumental
"Midnight". Jimi had originally designated "Midnight
Lightning" as the song's title, before it was shortened
simply to "Midnight". "Midnight", like "Tax Free", was
hardly the result of an impromptu jam session. Instead,
the Experience devoted considerable time to
establishing the song's intricate rhythm pattern. With
that properly established, Hendrix carefully labored over
a series of inspired lead guitar lines.
The break-up of the Experience in June 1969 relegated
"Midnight" to the sidelines, where it joined a growing
stockpi Ie of original material the group had earmarked for
their fourth album. As a result, "Midnight" would remain
unreleased until it was mixed and put forward as part of
the posthumous compilation War Heroes in 1972.

 

 

 

BLEEDING HEART

RECORDED: RECORD PLANT, NEW YORK, MARCH 24, 1970
ELECTRIC LADY STUDIOS, NEW YORK, JUNE, 1970
PRODUCER: JIMI HENDRIX
ENGINEER: JACK ADAMS [RECORD PLANT]
EDDIE KRAMER [ELECTRIC LADY]
MIXED By EDDIE KRAMER AND JOHN JANSEN
ELECTRIC LADY STUDIOS, MARCH 11, 1971
GUITAR, VOCALS: JIMI HENDRIX
BASS: BILLY COX
DRUMS: MITCH MITCHELL
ORIGINALLY ISSUED AS PART OF WAR HEROES.
Like "Room Full Of Mirrors", "Bleeding Heart"
began as a twelve-bar bl ues before evolvi ng as an
uptempo Hendrix original.
As Jimi had transformed B.B. King's "Rock Me
Baby" into his own "Lover Man", "Bleeding Heart"
was modeled first on the original recording by the
legendary slide guitarist Elmore James. Both the
Experience and Band Of Gypsys performed
exceptional stage interpretations of the blues
classic in its original form. Yet, beginning with the
April 1969 Olmstead Studios sessions, Jimi began
to tinker with the song's structure, modifying its
elements unti I he had rei nvented it as h is own.
Hendrix maintained the song's blues heritage, but
altered the arrangement to accommodate new,
original lyrics and a faster tempo.
With Electric Lady Studios still under construction
and unavailable to him, Hendrix entered the Record
Plant on March 24, 1970 and captured the basic
track for "Bleeding Heart" with the last of four
inspired takes.
Like "Ezy Ryder", "Stepping Stone", "Izabella" and
many other Record Plant recordings from this
period, the master reel for "Bleeding Heart" would
be transferred to Electric Lady in May 1970.
Additional guitar parts would be overdubbed at the
new facility and Mitch Mitchell replaced the existing
percussion tracks with new drum parts. A rough mix
by Hendrix and Kramer encompassing these
improvements was made before the guitarist's
death, but no final master was achieved.

 

PALI GAP

RECORDED: ELECTRIC LADY STUDIOS, NEW YORK, JULY 1, 1970
PRODUCER: JIMI HENDRIX
ENGINEER: EDDIE KRAMER
MIXED By EDDIE KRAMER AND JOHN JANSEN
ELECTRIC LADY STUDIOS, MAY 12, 1971
GUITAR: JIMI HENDRIX
BASS: BillY COX
DRUMS: MITCH MITCHEll
PERCUSSION: JUMA SULTAN
ORIGINAllY ISSUED AS PART OF RAINBOW BRIOGE.
Recorded on what was perhaps his most productive night at Electric
Lady Studios, "Pali Gap" originally began as the instrumental jam
immediately following the master take of "Dolly Dagger."
Originally marked on the tape box as "Slow Part", "Pali Gap" actually
began as the recording of the basic track for "Dolly Dagger" drew to a
close. "As 'Dolly Dagger' began to come apart," explains Eddie
Kramer, "Billy Cox started playing the bass line to 'Gimme Some
Lovin',' the Spencer Davis Group song, and that developed into a jam
lasting nearly ten minutes."
Nearly three minutes into the jam, Hendrix shifted gears into "Pali
Gap" and the group fell in behind in full stride. "When the jam started,
Jimi was just [messing] around," remembers Kramer. "The tone he
was using was just his quiet jam tone, with the'amplifier turned down
some, and not the full-bore Marshall sound he had used to cut the
basic track for 'Dolly Dagger'. Afterwards, he overdubbed a second
guitar and new solo, with the Marshall back at full volume. He did
these with the Uni-Vibe, as well as a Leslie at the end."
While Hendrix never officially named this recording, the title "Pali Gap"
was coined after the guitarist's death by his manager, Michael Jeffery.
One of the producers of the ill-fated hippie docudrama Rainbow Bridge,
Jeffery hoped the new title "Pali Gap" would further wed the song to the
movie's Hawaiian locale. An edited version of the instrumental was
issued as part of the 1971 Rainbow Bridge film and its accompanying
soundtrack album.


DRIFTER'S ESCAPE

PERCUSSION: JUMA SULTAN
PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED ALTERNATE VERSION.
The last of several inspired interpretations of Bob Dylan's
catalog by Jimi, "Drifter's Escape" ranked as a strong contender
for First Rays Of The New Rising Sun. The song's basic track was
achieved during an enthusiastic June 17, 1970 session. Hendrix
was intent on perfecting a series of lead guitar overdubs before the
song would be deemed complete. This master features additional
guitar parts recorded on July 19 and 20 as Jimi made a number of
attempts to try and realize a specific sound and tone for his lead guitar.
Unlike the track posthumously mixed by John Jansen and included as part of
Loose Ends, this version of "Drifter's Escape" was mixed by Hendrix and Kramer
during the lengthy overdub and mixing sessions staged at Electric Lady in the days
prior to the guitarist's departure for the August 1970 Isle Of Wight Festival in England.

HENDRIX JIMI Guitar Recorded Version WOODSTOCK TABLATURE LIBRO-Star Spangled Banner-HEY JOE

HENDRIX JIMI, WOODSTOCK. In parte anche ripresa nel noto film sul festival di Woodstock, l'esibizione di Hendrix e dei "gypsy sun & rainbows", è celebre per una interpretazione improvvisata dell'inno americano, ove con la sua chitarra imitava le raffiche dei mitra e le esplosioni delle bombe della guerra del Vietnam. "The octavia" è un apparecchio inventato dal famoso tecnico-mago Roger Mayer, e produce un suono un'ottava più in alto di quello che si sta suonando. "The univibe" è uno strumento elettronico disegnato per imitare l'effetto "Leslie" dell'organo elettronico. Fu molto usato dai chitarristi dalla metà degli anni '60 agli anni '70, poi fu sostituito dai modulatori di altezza digital-delay. Hendrix, con il suono "sott'acqua", il 19 Agosto del 1969 al festival di Woodstock, aggiunse un'altra impronta al repertorio dei suoi suoni; riconosciuta oggi dagli esperti come l'ultima orma del suo sentiero. Jimi Hendrix scomparve il 23 settembre 1970. Contiene: fire -Izabella -hear my train a' comin' -red house -jam back at the house (beginnings) -voodoo child (slight return/ stepping stone -the star spangled banner -purple haze -woodstock improvisation -Villanova junction.

IRON MAIDEN GUITAR TABLATURE LIBRO SPARTITI The Ides of March-running free-Hallowed Be Thy Name

IRON MAIDEN, I PRIMI 4 ALBUM. Trascrizioni parziali. TABLATURE

ASSOCIATE MUSIC EDITOR: JOHN CERULLO
MUSIC ARRANGER: RAY DONATO
ART DIRECTOR: AMID CAPECI

A four-album anthology covering Killers, Iron Maiden, The Number of the Beast and Piece of Mind. The 37 titles include: The Ides of March * Murders in the Rue Morgue * Prodigal Son * Strange World * Charlotte the Harlot * Invaders * Hallowed Be Thy Name * Where Eagles Dare * Revelations * Quest for Fire.

In June 1977, when all around them were embracing
punk and new wave pop, Iron Maiden struck out to mine
the metal ores. Faced with indifferent club owners, deaf
record executives and changing line-ups, bassist Steve
Harris led Iron Maiden onward. As Harris told Guitar For
The Practicing Musician, "The basic rules still apply. You've
got to be dedicated and stick to your guns."
Spending $400 to make the legendary Soundhouse
Tapes, Maiden got their first taste of success when deejay
Neal Kay put the song Prowler at number one, as
compiled by requests! Maiden was off and running.
But it wasn't the strength of the Soundhouse Tapes that
got them major label attention. It was the ever growing size
of their following. In the winter of '79 Maiden, having gone
through a number of guitarists (Dave Murray was the only
constant) and at least one drummer, signed with EMI
Capitol Records. Finally on April 14, 1980 IRON MAIDEN
was released while the group opened for Judas Priest in
England and Kiss in Europe. It was toward the end of that
year, when the band and producer Martin Birch got
together to start a heavy metal dynasty on vinyl.
On through KILLERS, THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
and PIECE OF MIND, "Martin was able to get the best
performance out of us without our even realizing it," says
Harris. It is to this explosion of rock energy and its
precision of execution captured on record, that this book is dedicated to sharing.


John: Iron Maiden got its first real push forward with the song Prowler.
Steve: Prowler is a very special song for us. When we made
the Sound house Tapes we took the actual tape to Neal Kay
who was a d.j. in north London. He used to have a heavy
metal chart which was compiled from record requests and
printed in the music magazine "Sounds". Prowler got to be
number one just from the requests for the demo tape.
That's why we had the tape made into a record, because so
many kids were asking us how they could get hold of the
demo tapes.

John: Is there a big difference between the version on the
record and the original on the tape?
Steve: Oh yeah, there's quite a difference. The Soundhouse
Tapes were the very first thing we recorded. It was just a
demo. It only cost us about $400 to make the whole thing. It
really wasn't great quality.
John: Was Prowler composed in pieces and put together?
Steve: That's pretty much the style of a lot of our songs.

John: Are parts conceived for a specific song or could you
possibly switch sections with other songs?
Steve: A lot of songs were written in different sections that
could possibly have been used in other songs.

John: Remember Tomorrow also has one of your favorite
devices. I'm thinking of the slow start that builds up.
Steve: That song is an old stage favorite. The crowds used
to really be into that one. Paul Di'anno wrote the lyrics to it. I
wrote the music. Actually I played him the parts I had and
he worked it out. There's a lot of feeling in that song. Mind
you I think any song should befilled with feeling. Buton the
slow parts of this one I think there is that extra measure.

John: Running Free also has a signature with the bass riff
up front.
Steve: I think the songs sound a bit different because they
are written on the bass.
John: Do you start with a melody and fill in with the chords?
Steve: It depends on the song. Some I write with a main
bass riff .and work out the melody on top of it. Some songs
begin WIth a strong melody line and I work out the music
behind it. I pretty much work everything out on the bass, the
actual riffs and the harmonies. Running Free came together
when I put a riff to the main drum beat by Doug Sampson.
He was the drummer on the Sound house Tapes.

John: The harmony riffs sound very structured and almost
classical.

Steve: Sometimes maybe. Mainly they are little melodies
which have harmonies put to them. The part in the middle I
worked up from a bunch of bits I wrote.

John: It's certainly not based on the blues.
Steve: I was never really into the blues. Dave (Murray) is into
the blues. I was into blues influenced bands like Free.

John: There's no improv in this song.
Steve: We thought we'd try and do something a bit different.
Most songs have a guitar solo in the middle. We've always
tried to do things a little differently. We thought instead of a
guitar solo we'd have a guitar break which would consist of
guitar runs and harmonies.

John: Next up is Phantom of the Opera.
Steve: That's a very long song that was done in sections.
The middle part was totally separate but it fit in very well. It
felt right to go, from the slow part into the middle section.

John: Transylvania.
Steve: The initial idea on this one was to have lyrics. It
originally had a melody line for the vocal, but when we
played it, it sounded so good as an instrumental that we
never bothered to write lyrics for it.

John: Strange World.
Steve: It's one of the only sort of slow songs we've done
But it's got a lot of feeling. It used to be a stage favorite
Dave really enjoyed playing the solo in this one. We may
bring it back in the future.

John: Sanctuary is a straight ahead rock and roller.
Steve: It was released asasingle in England, but it wasn't on
the British album. It was done at the same time as the first
album, but we didn't release a single in the states, so we
thought we'd add an extra track on the album. It's a rockin'
number. We still play it.

John: Next up is the famous Charlotte the Harlot.
Steve: That's really Dave's song. I would have been proud
to say that I'd written it. Ilike playing it live because it was
something a bit different than I would write.

John: Iron Maiden.
Steve: As long as I can remember we've closed our set with
this song. It's quite simple. The bass line is fairly straight
forward as is the drumming. But the guitar is over the top
with harmony, and the bass is descending behind it. I think
this makes it pretty special.
John: In parts it almost sounded like a Chris Squire line ...
